HIGHLIGHTS
- In addition, iOS 15.4 includes over 100 new emojis from the Emoji 14.0 collection.
- On Monday, a new version, iOS 15.4, was published.
- Some people speculated that Apple had begun to employ the maximum 120Hz ProMotion.
iOS 15.4 was released earlier this week, along with iPadOS 15.4, watchOS 8.5, macOS Monterey 12.3, tvOS 15.4, and HomePod Software 15.4.
According to GSM Arena, an increasing number of consumers are complaining about poor battery life following the OTA. According to these studies, an iPhone 13 Pro Max barely lasts half a day, and an older iPhone 11 loses 80 percent of its battery life in 24 hours with two hours of screen on time.
Of course, this is not a universal problem, and some temporary battery issues are to be expected following an update. Some customers believe Apple has begun to use the maximum 120Hz ProMotion refresh rate far more frequently. It seems believable, but it can't be the whole storey because ProMotion is only available on the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max, and these aren't the only devices affected.
Aside from the unfortunate battery issues, iOS 15.4 includes over 100 new emojis from the Emoji 14.0 set, a new voice option for Siri, the ability to provide time and date information offline, EU Digital COVID Certificate support in vaccine cards in Apple Wallet, improvements to Safari web page translations with support for Italian and Chinese, Podcasts app improvements, and more.
With the iOS 15.4 software update, iPhone owners may unlock their iPhones while wearing face masks. The new iOS 15.4 version, which was launched on Monday, also contains a slew of new capabilities for current iPhones. The new function, which allows users to unlock their iPhone phones using Face ID while wearing masks, is specific to iOS 15.4 and is only accessible on the iPhone 12, 12 Mini, 12 Pro, and 12 Pro Max, as well as the iPhone 13, 13 Mini, 13 Pro, and 13 Pro Max.
The option to utilise Face ID with a mask will be available on the welcome screen once the device has been upgraded, according to the announcement.
